Winter Barley Jakubus C1 Saaten

FEATURES OF THE WINTER BARLEY JAKUBUS VARIETY:

Winter barley JAKUBUS is an extremely high-yielding, 6-row feed variety with a compensatory type, showing a remarkable yield potential rated 9/9 in official registration and post-registration trials (both at agrotechnics levels A1 and A2). It is characterised by a medium-late maturity and good crop architecture, which translates into high lodging resistance rated 8 on a 9-point scale. Farmers particularly appreciate its very high winter hardiness (5 points according to COBORU) and elite health status. The plants show exceptional resistance to snow mould, as well as powdery mildew, rhynchosporium, barley rust, and net blotch, with resistance ratings reaching an impressive 8/9.

Choosing the JAKUBUS variety guarantees a harvest of large grain with excellent feed quality parameters. It is distinguished by very high uniformity (above 2.5 mm) and above-average hectolitre weight. Thanks to precisely developed agrotechnical recommendations, including the appropriate sowing time in September and optimised nitrogen fertilisation doses (from 60-90 kg at tillering stage to 30-40 kg in the late dose), this barley allows for trouble-free, economical crop management and achieving record results at harvest.

Advantages of choosing WINTER BARLEY JAKUBUS:

• Record yields: The highest ratings (9/9) for yield potential in official trials guarantee outstanding productivity and maximum profit per hectare.
• Reliable overwintering: Solid winter hardiness at 5 points on the COBORU scale protects the farmer’s investment against harsh, frosty winter conditions.
• Robust health status: Outstanding resistance (8/9) to key fungal diseases such as powdery mildew, rhynchosporium, barley rust, and snow mould significantly facilitates fungicide protection of the crop.
• High feed quality of the raw material: Excellent grain uniformity and its high bulk density (hectolitre weight) make this barley a valuable and dense energy source.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - WINTER BARLEY JAKUBUS:

What sowing rate should be used for Jakubus barley?

For optimal sowing times, which fall in September, the optimal density is 260-290 seeds/m². In the case of early sowing, the rate can be slightly reduced to 240-260 seeds, while for late sowings it is necessary to increase it and sow the field more densely – it is then recommended to use 290 to 340 seeds per 1 m².

Does this variety have good disease resistance?

Definitely yes. The JAKUBUS variety shows outstanding health status at 8 on a 9-point scale for a number of the most dangerous diseases. This group includes snow mould, powdery mildew, rhynchosporium, barley rust, and net blotch. Such a high level of natural resistance significantly reduces the risk of yield loss caused by pathogen infections.
